Pre and Post Implant Treatments

Having dental implants may be an enormous decision to make, and it is absolutely natural to feel concerned about it.

If you have questions or concerns regarding the treatments, we are always happy to guide you through the process. Prior to any implant treatments, we will have a consultation to address any queries you may have regarding the procedure, anaesthetics, sedation or even the aftercare to make sure you are always aware and in control.

We strive to make you and your family feel safe with our dedicated team, professional surroundings, as well as our experience in implantology and the advanced technologies that we use. Aside from your smile, your safety, well-being and comfort are our top priorities. At every stage of the process, we will provide you with the necessary information and try to make you feel as comfortable as possible at all times.

Prior to your implant placement

Although our experienced dentists will use their refined skills to take care of you during the treatment, there are a few things you can do to make the procedure more successful.

We recommend refraining from heavy drinking and smoking for at least 24 hours before your treatment. By doing so, your gums and jawbone will be healthier and ready to undergo a successful procedure, as well as help you avoid any infections.

On the day of your treatment, you can eat and take your prescribed medications as usual. Any medical issues with the potential to affect the procedure will be discussed during your initial consultation. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about preparations before placing the implants.

Post your implant treatment

Most patients who pay particular attention to their well-being report a significantly shorter healing period after the implant procedure. Therefore, you may want to try and indulge in healthier habits, such as eating a more balanced diet and enjoying light exercise to promote better blood flow, which helps your healing. Every little step towards your health counts as a significant pathway to happier smiles throughout your life.

You may want to avoid any hard-to-chew foods and eat softer foods for a few days after the procedure, and gradually add harder foods to your diet. After the crown has been placed, you can return to your regular eating habits as your implants will function just like your natural teeth with extra strength.

We will provide you with a detailed, personalised aftercare plan following your treatment, so you know how best to care for your mouth and implant.

Please note

You may experience slight discomfort where the procedure has been performed, but this can be effectively managed by over-the-counter pain relief.
